Key Benefits

• 9D Cat-Eye Effect — Rich Ocean Blue with Dramatic Magnetic Dimension – A deep, rich ocean-blue magnetic gel that produces a stunning 9D cat-eye effect — a shifting, glowing streak of light that moves with every angle, adding dramatic depth and dimension to the nail. Ideal for evening glam requests, ocean-inspired manicures, formal occasion sets, and clients who want a blue that feels alive, dimensional, and impossible to ignore.
• Requires Cat-Eye Magnet — Effect Activated at Cure – The 9D cat-eye effect is created by holding a cat-eye magnet over the uncured gel before curing each coat. The magnet aligns the magnetic particles to create the signature shifting streak — a quick, repeatable technique that adds significant perceived value to every service.
• Up to 3 Weeks Chip-Resistant Wear – Professional Diva gel formula holds through daily wear, supporting client retention and reducing callbacks on statement and special occasion color services.
• Full Coverage in 2–3 Coats – Smooth formula minimizes application time per client without sacrificing depth or the cat-eye finish quality.
• Fast LED Cure – Cures in 30–60 seconds under LED, keeping your service flow moving without extended lamp time between coats.
• Clean Soak-Off Removal – Acetone-friendly formula releases in 10–15 minutes without aggressive filing, protecting nail health and keeping removal services efficient.
• ~20–30 Services Per Bottle – Each 0.5 fl oz bottle stretches across approximately 20–30 full manicures, giving you strong cost-per-service value on a high-demand evening and formal statement shade.

How to Create the 9D Cat-Eye Effect

Apply DND gel base coat, then apply one thin coat of Saltwater Tabby #16. Before curing, hold a cat-eye magnet close to the nail surface for 5–10 seconds to align the magnetic particles and create the shifting streak effect. Cure under LED (30–60 seconds). Repeat for a second coat — apply, magnetize, cure. Seal with DND gel top coat for a glossy, long-lasting finish. The angle and position of the magnet controls the direction and intensity of the cat-eye streak — experiment to find your preferred effect.
